Jimmy Finkelstein, Low-Key Media Tycoon, Looks Beyond The Messenger’s Rocky Start
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Will The Messenger make it? Joe Pompeo probes just that in his sit-down with the start-up’s 74-year-old founder, Jimmy Finkelstein, who throws cold water on the chorus of naysayers predicting that the site won’t last. “It won’t be like the Daily Mail,” Finkelstein says. “It is a very serious publication that will also have lots of fun articles in it.”
Elsewhere, Claire Howorth joins Brian Stelter on the latest episode of Inside the Hive to compare and contrast the Murdochs and the Roys, with the latter’s story coming to an end in the upcoming series finale of Succession. Plus, Eric Lutz has the latest on the nation’s debt-ceiling crisis, which could turn into a full-fledged default that Republicans did nothing to avoid. Thanks for reading.
